Cookie Policy

Which cookies this site uses, what they do, how long they last, and how to turn them off. This page is a companion to the privacy policy.

What Cookies Are

A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store on your device. When you return to the site, the browser sends the cookie back, which lets the site recognise your preferences and session state. Similar technologies — local storage, session storage, pixels, web beacons — do the same kind of work in slightly different ways. On this page, "cookies" refers to all of them.

Most cookies are harmless and necessary for the site to work. Some — the third-party analytics cookies — exist to produce aggregate traffic data. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles and we do not run remarketing campaigns.

Categories of Cookies on This Site

Strictly necessary

Required for the site to function. These cannot be turned off without breaking the site. Session state, security challenges, and load balancing live in this category.

Performance and analytics

Help us understand how the site is used in aggregate — which pages are viewed, how long a session lasts, what device classes visitors use. No personal profile. IP addresses are anonymised before processing.

Functional

Remember your preferences: language preference, display theme.

Advertising / marketing

We do not use advertising cookies. This category is listed for completeness and to confirm its absence. Affiliate click attribution is technically a marketing-adjacent mechanism, and those cookies are listed below under their own heading.

The exact set may vary slightly as third-party services update their implementations. If you notice a cookie on this site that is not listed here, please let us know — we will investigate and update this page.

Third-Party Providers

Cloudflare

Cloudflare provides our CDN, DDoS protection, and bot management. Their cookies exist to deliver the site quickly and to block abusive traffic. Full detail: Cloudflare Privacy Policy.

Google Analytics 4

We use GA4 in anonymised-IP mode, with advertising features disabled. GA4 cookies let us see aggregate traffic patterns — pages per session, bounce rate, device split — without building an identifiable profile of any individual reader. Full detail: Google Privacy Policy. You can install the GA opt-out browser add-on to block GA across all sites.

Affiliate networks

When you click an outbound link to Jackpot Jill Casino, a click identifier is passed to the operator's affiliate network (typically Income Access, NetRefer, or an equivalent). That identifier credits this site with the referral if you subsequently sign up. No personal information about you is sent with the click beyond what your browser sends on any other navigation (IP, user-agent, referrer). The commercial relationship is explained in full on the affiliate disclosure page.

How to Manage or Block Cookies

You can manage cookies at any time through your browser settings — instructions for every major browser are below. Where third-party cookies require explicit consent under your local law, blocking the third-party script in your browser removes the corresponding cookie.

Browser instructions

Note that blocking all cookies — including strictly-necessary cookies — may cause parts of the site to behave unexpectedly. Language preference and any other functional state stored in cookies will reset on every visit.

Do Not Track

Our analytics provider (GA4) does not respond to Do Not Track signals. We treat DNT as advisory: we do not adjust processing based on it. If you want to opt out of GA, use the add-on linked above or block google-analytics.com at the browser or network level.

Changes to This Policy

When cookies change — a new provider added, an existing provider removed, a duration revised — we update the table above and move the "last updated" date at the top of the page. Historic versions are available on request through the contact page.

For questions about cookies specifically, or about our broader data practices, see the full privacy policy or email [email protected] with "Privacy" in the subject line.
